Was just going off that were you said you already (past tense) bought it, lol

It was a response that I was already buying it previously, and now they've added value to it.

Sounds like there's a ton of value with that $30 pack now. Not only do you get to skip two feats off the bat (all Wookiees and every Phoenix surviving), it's also possible to max crate while missing one of the globals, so this means you get to skip one of the 40 battles ones two.

FWIW you could already skip two globals with no pass, that's 30 keycards and you can skip (iirc) 34

Also worth noting buying the pass and skipping the wookiee/phoenix feats costs you 2 keycards lol

I already bought the pass. They listened to the survey and provided more value. Seems pretty great to me.

Good for you, I guess? I'm not going to reward the increasingly ridiculous requirements. The more they tighten their grip, the less likely I am to buy anything.

Yes it is good for me. They rewarded me by providing me more value for my purchases. The very opposite of "tightening their grip".

Adding value is fine, what I have a problém with is that they had to also make the feats worse than ever. That's what I meant by "tightening the grip", in case you genuinely didn't understand.

"Worse than ever" is subjective.

I guess you are right, the whales that have Captain Rex on relic will be fine.

Every conquest someone says this, and every conquest people figure it out somehow.

Yes, you could technically skip two, but you'd have to make it up with boss feats, so for people that don't have Trench or whoever, it might be an issue. Or maybe someone can't do one of the sector feats.

So if you could do all those anyway, then buying the pass means you get to skip both the 20 and both the 40 feats. The two keycard cost can easily be eaten because you get more than 30 in wiggle room. So that's actually pretty huge, skipping all of the grindy globals.

What changed with the pass? Just now or a while back?

It's new this time.

1) I get the two consumables that will let me do 30 keycards without doing the global feats required to obtain the consumables.

2) Increased bonus energy rate. It's up to 49% now (I don't remember how much it was before, I want to say 33%)

3) (maybe) Increased bonus stamina rate. This one I'm less sure of but it also looks like it may have gone up.

Is that the $10 or $30 pack?

$30. The $10 only gives the reward track, all bonuses beyond that are $30.

Bummer.

I did all of my Cal and Cere kills in the last 3 conquests with gear 8 units and a cheese strategy on the zombie node (much like many other players)... I was too cheap to even put any kyros on them... I don't think the grip was that tight...

And now there is no way to cheese it and everyone has to survive. It’s definitely getting tighter. And yes, people figured it out so far, but that's probably why it keeps getting worse, so one day they inevitably won’t. This might be that day.

They added a zombie back in last cycle after she had been gone for a long time, so by your own definition, it actually got better the last three months. Now it's back to where it was before.

I see 4 possible outcomes where rex non-farmable won’t matter:

- g11 rex will be enough
- ability exhaust / caustic emission combo
- voluntary vanguard
- the other feats are doable enough so this one could be skipped easily

I guess we’ll know(ish) in 3 weeks by polling our guildies if less people than before managed to red crate, which is possible, but impossible to say right off the bat.
